My Understanding :
PERM is filed for Department of Labor (which is state operated office), while H1B is filled for USCIS office (which is Federal) . These are like Apple and Orange. These two can go simultaneously. But you have to have legal status maintained while filing for PERM.
You mentioned that your employer has everything ready for PERM. I am assuming that you have PWD (privilege wage determination) and advertising documents ready. If not, while your H1 decision is pending, ask your employer to file for PWD , which itself takes almost 1 month.
Then your employer have to do advertising/interviewing all those carps. It takes 2 month for that. For PWD and advertising, they need nothing from you. Non of your personal information is required.
